As fear over the novel coronavirus escalates, it’s getting harder to find even a simple bottle of hand sanitizer. On Amazon, many listings are sold out. CVS warns that customers may find empty store shelves. “This demand may cause temporary shortages at some store locations and we re-supply those stores as quickly as possible,” a

In a recently published study in Appetite, U of A food marketing expert Ellen Goddard and her colleagues from the

Nothing beats sitting out by the pool with a drink in your hand (though sitting with the shades drawn in front of a fan can do the trick too), especially when what’s in your glass is refreshing, hydrating and full of flavor. Our fave summer drinks keep us feeling cool in the heat so we

Being a full-time wheelchair user with a disability, osteogenesis imperfecta, means I’ve spent considerable time in hospital, missing out on school and interacting with my peers.

No garlic, no onions, no shellfish, no potatoes, no rice: These are the foods the royal family can’t eat, and there are plenty of other food-related rules the royals must abide by. But with Meghan Markle’s due date rapidly approaching (it’s reported she’s due in late April), we have to know: What can the royal

Researchers at University of Utah Health believe the symptoms of autism may result from sustained connections between regions of the brain.

Thanksgiving can be a stressful time for everybody—I’ll take “Unsolicited Questions About My Relationship Status’ for $200, Alex—but it’s especially tough when everyone at the table has different food preferences. The good news? There are so many delish vegan Thanksgiving recipes that will fit seamlessly into your spread. Staples like roasted Brussels sprouts and colorful

I’m just going to say it right now: Cranberries (and cranberry juice) will not cure your urinary tract infection. Or prevent you from getting one. Don’t shoot the messenger! But just because cranberries’ all-powerful UTI benefits have largely been debunked doesn’t mean that the fall fruit is totally worthless, nutrition-wise. There are actually a lot

‘Artificial’ kidney that could mean thousands won’t need dialysis or a transplant Implant that mimics functions of the human kidney could begin trials this year It could be a life-saving option for patients with chronic kidney disease If successful it would save patients from dialysis or needing a transplant A coffee cup-sized implant that mimics the
